He technically doesn't have to root or anything, just use astro and copy the file from the system folder to the sdcard. I've done this with other system files, and I'm not rooted

[Epic 4G General] faceless:
sweet, just read every post in the thread. right after i read the first post i thought "this is gonna be a troll thread".

fora while there though, i was starting to think "maybe it won't be", but it's nice to see my instincts were right.

also, wow, i can't believe how people were bending over backwards to help someone!

in all my years of lurking, i have never seen so much support thrown at the feet of someone who was so clueless.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Just got the text.
[Epic 4G General] garr741:
so in the meantime, what was the correct way to get the update from the phone without being rooted? cuz whoever gets it nexts needs to be prepared!

Provide a clear set of instructions plz!

After the update dowloads, do not install it. Use astro file manager, go to the sytem/cache folder and copy the update.zip to the sdcard, then upload to the internet.

[Epic 4G General] dkechitkid:
The "sprint" to the finish has unfortunately ended abruptly, with castro pulling a muscle, and leaving all his fans sorely disappointed. While the race could never be won, the attempt was surely an Epic one.

The fat lady has Samsung....go home boys and girls...and tell of the day froyo almost came early :(.

I would say just flash back the stock eb13 kernel before your update hits.

Here's the stock eb13 kernel that you can flash in CWM:

If samsung still exists their phones will be implanted into the gluteus maximus which will hurt every time you sit down.

LMAO, this thread is flooding with jokes keeping me entertained at work... :D
[Epic 4G General] poit:
What I have read says yes, as long as you have the stock ROM, the kernel and rooting don't matter.

Until someone can confirm that it worked it's unknown though.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
You need the one click clockwork 3.0.0.6 its in the development section stickied ;)

No OTA here yet but just got a txt from sprint:

"SprintFreeMsg: Coming soon! Sprint ID on your Epic. ID packs bundle apps, wallpapers, ringtones and more for your lifestyle. Learn more http://sprint.us/id1"

btw, already odin'd EC05 modem. Rooted running midnight ROM- if the OTA hits should I let install, or will my phone break up with my gf, contaminate my beer, kill the ozone, and club baby seals?

[Epic 4G General] qstarin:
I don't think you'll see the update at all. Just went back to DI18 from midnight 5, just in case.
[Epic 4G General] DexterDawg:
Either Castro is a great troll, or one of the controll freaks on this board pm'd him and managed to get him to only give it to them. Either option seems logical
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Really it updated your prl after you got it?????

Now i want it, i want the new prl and my prl update to work... :(

I tried the following code in the dialer: *#*#CHECKIN#*#*

Got message code was incorrect
[Epic 4G General] jephro:
Since I odin'd EC05 my PRL will not update, says none available. It always has updated in the past even if I do it 2,3 times in a row... odd::confused:
[Epic 4G General] jfharden:
It's because you used all caps.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Did u get the sprint text saying sprint id is coming???

Just wondering cause im in the same boat and even when i tried it on eb13 on my dads still error, like i said i think it has to do with Sprint & the release of EC05 OTA...
[Epic 4G General] jephro:
..well can't quote your sig, but 2.2.1 on your moment. Oh boy, got a refurb moment used for a day before the Epic was released. There goes the rest of my "free time".
[Epic 4G General] dkechitkid:
LMAO !!!

10chars
[Epic 4G General] SubnetMask:
supposedly the *#*#CHECKIN#*#* code is not for the Epic. I think it was for the Evo, or possibly one of Verizon's phones. The instructions I say said to enter the code but not press send. if it worked, you'd get a message saying you're registered. didn't work on my phone.
[Epic 4G General] jephro:
Yep, got the txt like an hour ago.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:

I got the text at 6:46pm yesterday (3/22) and still do not have anything. Don't get too excited about the text you guys. I'm running Stock EB13, btw in Raleigh, NC.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Hmm, well im in Tucson,AZ, have not received a text and the prl thing started to not work on eb13,eco5,d118 on Sunday...

And it used to work on all of the three epics on different roms...

Its gotta be a sprint thing, i think once the ota is completely done i think it should be fixed...
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
I feel like I'm missing out 'cause I don't even have the text yet :(

Castro...come back...we miss you!!!
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
I'm in Chicago, IL. Got the text a few hours ago, and prl stopped working for me on Monday - EB13 Stock, No root.

I agree that it has to be a sprint thing. To think a phone company would have trouble with communication...

[Epic 4G General] jephro:
Look at it this way, would you rather have an iPhone?? I feel so bad for the damaged people that think itunes, ipods, iphones is all that is out there. The days of Mac's are long gone.

I stood in line for a Palm Pre, WebOs rocked but the hardware just wasn't up to par, went through 4 Pre's. Once WebOs's lead coder defected to Android I knew it was over.
[Epic 4G General] Toast95135:
I got the text about an hour and a half ago, but I'm not on stock so no OTA.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Nope, i rather have best of both worlds, ipod touch 64gb jailbroken and Android which i can use to tether too it :D

I love android as i came from wm and loved that as well, when i heard what they did to windows phone 7, finally the epic came and meant my needs and android kicks ass, the similarites to wm is great and a lot of improvements :D

I came from wm 6.1 and loved it. I didn't have any issues with it and I customized it to the max. Same as you, when I saw what they were planning with Windows Phone 7, I ditched MS and went full force to Android. I had already been running Android on my HTC Touch Pro, but not as my full OS.

There are 3 different builds. DL05, DL25, and EB28

Be sure to get a kernel, I tried out the LED on version

Also, there is a new JIT for froyo builds, and you can use the old EXT2 conversion from 2.1, as long as you be sure to install the new kernel afterwards

Also can we use one click root to root EC05?

And well like I said I bet you all would have done the same thing!

Andd hmhm good question
[Epic 4G General] qstarin:
It installed and booted.

Firmware: 2.2.1

Baseband: S:D700.0.5S.EC05

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Build: FROYO.EC05

Bad signal here, haven't really tested data connection yet.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
It doesn't work over EB13, I guess that's not a surprise.

Can it be rooted with CWM2.5?
[Epic 4G General] bmmccoy007:

And I don't know if I even have a cache folder
[Epic 4G General] nebrando:
I see that now, I failed to scroll to the right :o
[Epic 4G General] lazydazed:
Just mount the phone and hunt and peck in the sd. Look in all the folders and sub folders.. upload the file not the folder...when you find it you'll know.. or if you stumble on something with the .tar that's good **** too! BIG Thanks for trying
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
thanks for the reply
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
Well that's what I thought I uploaded it says update.zip. and the date is from the 22 of march when I got it, but it only 1.29 mb
[Epic 4G General] Ree$e:
Can you post your About phone Baseband version??
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
If its been deleted, you can likely Odin back to DI18 and since its being pushed in your area, you should immediately get the update notification again. Grab the update.zip BEFORE you install EC05.

I understand if you don't feel like doing all that though.
[Epic 4G General] rgregg504:
Awesome plan

It should look like this if you got it

but how do i pull it ?
[Epic 4G General] SurrealOne:
Well I hope this is starting in Calif I also live in Calif not to far from Palm Springs :)

Also Thanks Castro for all the info.

Enjoy and don't forget to let us know what you think about EC05 good and Bad
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
I am not logging off for like another 3 hours, so Odin back to DI18, and report back when you get the update popup and it prompts you to install. DO NOT install it.
[Epic 4G General] nebrando:
I just got the Sprint ID text as well. Hopefully this is a good sign. It seems as though the action on this is really picking up.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Copied the file to my SD card and renamed to update.zip

I odin'ed to DI18

Booted into stock recovery, applied update.zip

Booted into EC05 and turn on debugging for usb

Applied CWM 2.5.5 and gained root

Rebooted into CWM 2.5.5 and installed Twilight Zone Kernel v1.01

All good!

Thanks again Castro!! :D
[Epic 4G General] SurrealOne:
yes all up and running
